We use static code analysis tools more often these days that create great reports and funky graphs. But do we understand what it all means?

Software metrics tends to be magic numbers for a lot of people, but they don’t really have to be. Seb will introduce you to a few basic, the most popular software metrics and tools. He will explain to you what they mean and how you can use them to produce better software.

Summary“We believe that software metrics, in general, are just tools. No single metric can tell the whole story; it’s just one more data point. ““Metrics are meant to be used by developers, not the other way around – the metric should work for you, you should not have to work for the metric. ““Metrics should never be an end unto themselves. Metrics are meant to help you think, not to do the thinking for you.” Alberto Savoia
